Anyone know of a successful psoriasis treatment?

My boyfriend has a small patch of what looks like psoriasis by his ear. We got some of this coal tar gel called Psoriasin but it doesn’t seem to be helping.

Anyone with this have any helpful tips or treatments?

If it is in fact psoriasis, you probably need steroid cream. Should get it checked out, though, because it might be something else (like skin cancer).

I Are their any new treatments available for psoriasis on the scalp?

I have suffered with this condition for many yearsand thought there might be some new products available.I am currently using Elocon.

Steroids and dandruff shampoos are the still the main treatments. There are more potent steroids than elocon that you could use for a brief course, e.g. clobex, or you could just use the stronger steroid on the weekends.
Three brief studies were done on the use of the excimer laser on patients with scalp psoriasis. The excimer is a laser with a wavelength similar to that of ultraviolet B, which is a well established treatment for psoriasis.

Many new topical psoriasis treatment also works for scalp.

Hi, you can try one of the natural treatments available on the Internet (just google “natural treatment of scalp psoriasis”) Some of them do actually work. For my psor. (scalp and elbows mostly) I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and they then stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn’t work – it’s free.
Cheers,
Stella

my dermitalogist said i have seborrheic dermatits but gave me a shampoo for psoriasis to treat it?

Yea, should i use it? these two issues are VERY different and i do not have any symptoms of psoriasis. I have a few flakes on my scalp but nothing like psoriasis. but she gave me a shampoo to treat it for psoriasis, should i use it?
the shampoo is called Clobex, please help me!

Give it a try, the main ingredient is Clobetasol propionate, and below is a study where researchers tested that ingredient on SD and found that it helps get rid of it in some people.

Anyone have any effective natural treatments for psoriasis?

I really do not want to do injections…too many possible BAD side effects. Would like some natural, herbal or whatever ideas.
oh…plaque I think.
Wow…these answers are great. Thank you all. I believe it is genetic…my father and grandfather suffered from it…along with other autoimmune disorders. I take good care of myself. good diet and my digestive processes are good. Its a mystery.
Oh yeah…sun is out. Im a fair skinned redhead…allergic to sun exposure…go figure…my luck.

Have you tried the herb Sarsaparilla [smilax officinalis], or any creams based on anti-inflammatory herbal extracts such as chamomile, calendula or licorice, or a manuka honey cream….the latter in particular might be worth trying if you have not already done so. Do some research on these.

further info regarding sarsaparilla:

and natural treatments that might help insha’Allah:

..not offiliated in any way with either websites/companies but thought the info they have collated might be of help insha’Allah.

Best wishes.
